I just checked the triangulated main body.
C4d counts just under 20k triangles.
Including all submodels (without turrets), 35817 triangles.
The 144k probably comes from adding up the polycounts of all 4 versions in the file.

Alright.  I didn't realize that they were all in the same file.  My mistake

Good luck with your continuing work on her, ragingloli!

@ragingloli, if you want the C4D files for these renders, i'll send em back

This thread in a nutshell:  Daaaaamn.

[Galemp]

Yeah I'd say that's an improvement over retail.

[Narvi]

Juuuuuuuuuust a bit.

We must praise him with great praise.

[Commander Zane]

Sweet merciful crap...
Arm it!

I just imagined this beauty appearing for the first time in Surrender, Belisarius!..

Perfect job! - Cant wait for it to be finished

[Vip]

I can't even begin to express how awesome this Hatshepsut is

Awwwwww, yeah.

What exactly is smoothing out all of the corners on that update? It looks awesome with smoother corners but in some areas like the crevices at the bow it really looks messed up.

[ragingloli]

I don't know what he did. But it looks like he applied polygon displacement or a hyper nurbs object. It does look quite messy.

[pecenipicek]

Sub polygon displacement. more of a test how it'd work out



also, it managed to crap out one of my pc's...

[Rodo]

It's a lovely model, I think I might cry like a baby if I get to see this ingame.

[Commander Zane]

If I get to see this before I'm in Iraq next month, I'm definately crying like a baby.

[Bobboau]

it might not be a bad idea to put the wip ingame to see how well it performs, it sounds like it's using 1000 poly subobjects, which should split things up fairly optimally, but that does sound like a lot of polygons. though since it is wip it would be a bad idea to try and set up any game data as the subobject hierarchy is still likely to change.

ragingloli, have you considered modeling in some interior geometry under those huge windows? :evil:

That would be nice.

[ragingloli]

You mean the huge lights on the back, right? Actually I considered it when I started the model, but abandoned that thought later because I thought it was too much of a hassle. And besides most of the space that would be required for that geometry is now used up by the internal fighterbay. I could punch holes into the hull and into the fighterbay and seal it off with transparent glass, but if at all, that would be a modification at the end when the model is finished. Right now I am working on the debris and it is giving me some trouble because of the symmetry of the model and the asymmetric nature of the future scorched textures for the debris so I will have to make new textures and rearrange the UVs for them.

Here's the first one btw:
